Diamond Dice Baseball: Manager's Edition

Diamond Dice Baseball Game: Manager’s Edition is a tabletop baseball simulation in which each player manages a team through a complete baseball game. Managers make pitching, batting, fielding, base-running, and strategic decisions while player cards and dice determine the results of each play. The game uses individual batter and pitcher cards based on real player performance. Managers choose when to steal, bunt, use the hit-and-run, tag up, attempt an extra base, adjust the infield, challenge a play, and make pitching changes. Player ratings for defense, speed, arm strength, and pitching performance affect the outcome of these decisions. Each at-bat combines pitcher and batter results to create strikeouts, walks, hits, home runs, and balls put into play. Fielding locations and base-advancement decisions add additional strategy, while pitcher fatigue and bullpen management require managers to plan throughout the game. The Manager’s Edition is designed for baseball fans who want the outcome to depend not only on dice and player statistics, but also on their own managerial decisions. —description from the publisher
